5.0 out of 5 stars
Great textbook
I am an engineer/scientist and I used this book for my first course in World Economy/Macro. Although the course used Mankiw Macroeconomics 5th Ed as the textbook (which is a good intermediate-level book), this book provided a great introductory foundation for the various concepts. The color illustrations/tables in this book are by far the best that I have...

Plain bad
The concepts might be spot-on, but the presentation is not. The book adopts the narrative, rambling styles so common in college textbooks these days.

This review is from: Macroeconomics (Paperback)
I am an engineer/scientist and I used this book for my first course in World Economy/Macro. Although the course used Mankiw Macroeconomics 5th Ed as the textbook (which is a good intermediate-level book), this book provided a great introductory foundation for the various concepts.
The color illustrations/tables in this book are by far the best that I have seen (for example the book uses real units on x and y axes and actual data wherever possible in figures which makes them less abstract than the figures found in other books). Economics by Hall is also a reasonably good book but not as versatile as this one. |
